Carnival Pookie Awards

Good evening all, and welcome to our second annual Carnival Pookie Awards. If allyuh feel I late , know that I am not because they only give out the prizes for Soca Monarch this week self. As you should already know if you have been reading my blog for any length of time I am quite openly biased to certain things, e.g songs by Machel Montano. So although deep down in my heart I may want to be objective, I can't promise I will be .So if you have a problem with that too bad. I don't want to keep you in further suspense...

Rollin'...only because of that one line "Doh hold me back, I feelin real slack".

Just not much to choose from, oh yeah and I'm biasedWORST SOCA VIDEO: Bring it by Hunter ( the man eh look in the camera once yuh know) followed closely by Carnival Clap with KMCBEST NEW ARTIST: Patrice for really coming out with several solo hits and not just as a feature in HDBEST COME BACK ARTIST: Crazy for singing yet another song with double meanings and causing an uproar.DON'T QUIT YOUR DAY JOB AWARD:Ms Triniti, keep it up though , you should get there eventually.BEST MAS BAND: I not going thereWORST MAS BAND : Ditto....BEST JOUVERT SONG : Oil and Music Machel Feat David Rudder (AH PPLAUSE!)WORST JOUVERT SONG: Sigh can't make up my mindBEST SOCA ALBUMN:Machel, Flame on.Still the only person who has a full album which also happens to be very goodBEST COLLABORATION: Kees and Brick and Lace for making a groovy remix that was recorded separately without it sounding like it was. Followed closely by Machel and Pitbull which did not win because Pitbull did not have the courtesy to put Machel in he video even though he use all the footage from AC3+ 3WORST COLLABORATION: Rihanna feat Mr. Slaughter. I was greatly disappointed when I heard this song, great idea but Slaughter almost not in the song and it could not have been more studio produced.BEST FEMALE ARTIST: Patrice, she really kicked it up a notch this year, watch out...Mestra.BEST MALE ARTIST: Machel, Duh!EAT A FOOD AWARD: Shal Marshall et al for Gyal Farm (d party) and they place in Groovy Soca (d Song) not to be outdone by Bunji and Faye Ann who win in Power Soca and Road MarchLIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD: Sparrow for bringing back the Congo Man and rockin it!

All per usual winners can contact me for your Pookie and the prize package of Crix and Dixie Biscuits.

But Rollin' was my fave for the road too.... i eh care what nobody say (followed by Congo Man and Blazin' d Trail , not necessarily in that order..lol). Dem tunes sent me into a fenzy no matter where i was or how many times i heard it.

Even if ppl eh like Machel they have to admit that there is a magic about him. He has a gift and he is a boss !!!! AH-PPLAUSE..
